Adam is worse than any of the banks on Wall Street.
...wouldn't go that far.

Serves him right for doing shit projects, end of the day he won't give a shit because these shit projects make him bank left and right
He's basically stealing investor money to pay off his out of work friends and then charging a premium to see a horribly shitty movie.
That's down right evil.
A budget of 80 Million plus a huge ad revenue for all the product placements.
Yeah, and the film still made almost $150 mil worldwide. He's not stealing money from little old ladies - he's getting money from wealthy investors who know how the game is played. Not to mention how many people have at least temporary jobs during the course of production and post. It's also a misconception that all product placement is the result of a cash payout. It's more common that in exchange for ad placement, the vendors provide a service. Dell may provide workstations, Coke may provide free craft services, etc. It's not always cash.
Not saying he isn't overcharging, but to equate him to the banks is a little much.
He got nominated for worst actress in Jack and Jill?
bwahahahaha
I fucking hate him with a passion. He was never funny, ever. He's second only to Rob Schneider in terms of terrible "funny" actors. Please, just stop making movies.
I loved the way they found to stop Rob Scheneider making movies ..... give him a tv series !
This is the perfect option for Adam Sandler, wich is kinda sad since he has some cool dramatic roles ...

What? Sony Pictures paid the budget, Sony owns Columbia Pictures, and Happy Madison Productions is located at Sony Pictures Studios. Why is it shocking news that there is Sony product placement?I wasn't surprised at how some of the companies that are linked together work together when it comes to promoting the movie and running their businesses in general. That is to be expected. I was surprised at just how deep that wormhole goes. I never knew about how Coca-Cola was involved in television, for example. We're through the looking glass here, people.
Wait, there was a new Big Momma movie?
WHY?!
did you guys know the shining was nominated for two razzies?
Probably for Worst Actress, right? Can't imagine it'd be nominated for Worst Picture.
No movie with this in it should win a Razzie.
It's essentially an incredibly expensive movie with incredibly low production values, that only exists to make Sandler & friends a lot of money. I know, making a movie to make money sounds like every movie ever if you want to be cynical about it, but it's really worth watching the Half in the Bag episode (linked in the OP) to see just how far this movie goes in that regard.
True, but he only produced four movies. The Love Guru and the three Austin Powers films. He also wrote a couple of SNL specials and the Wayne's World films. But he mainly is an actor, one that doesn't do a lot of different movies at the moment.The only thing he has done in Shrek is offer his voice tho. I thought he created them at one point.
He really needs to make a new Austin Powers, Gold Member was ten years ago, too long.
You guys hating on Sandler are hilarious! He'll dry your tears with hundred dollar bills. He knows his movies are shit and you should be hating the people that actually pay to go see them.
He's not going to be happy.
Ninety-seven percent of the critics at Rotten Tomatoes disliked Adam Sandler's two-for-one twaddle-fest of a twin comedy JACK & JILL — and apparently 100% of RAZZIE® Award Voters agreed. In April Fools' night ceremonies in Santa Monica, JACK & JILL set a new record, becoming the first film in the 32-year history of the RAZZIES® to "win" every single tacky trophy handed out at the annual Oscar® spoof — a total of TEN Dis-Honors.
We need to make an Adam Sandler appreciation thread, so many classics.

It's not always cash.
